Answer:

B) The tree-of-heaven is originally from China. It produces a chemical that prevents other plants from growing around it.

Explanation:

In ecology, a plant is said to be "INVASIVE" if it is FOREIGN or NON-NON-NATIVE to a particular region or area and also poses a great threat to the native species of that region. An invasive species, when introduced into a foreign habitat, heavily competes with the existing local species of that same habitat.

This is the case of the tree-of-heaven, which is originally from China. The tree produces a chemical that prevents other plants from growing around it. Note that this plant species is foreign to the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia as it originates from China. Likewise it harms the local or native species of the park by secreting a chemical that prevents other plants from growing around it. This characteristics portrays a plant that is INVASIVE.

a concentration solution of H2so4 is 59.4% by mass (m/m) and has a density of 1.83 g/mL. How many mL of the solution would be re

Blababa [14]

Answer: 41.5 mL

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute

$V_s$ = volume of solution in L

Given : 59.4 g of $H_2SO_4$ in 100 g of solution

moles of $H_2SO_4=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{59.4g}{98g/mol}=0.61$

Volume of solution = $\frac{\text {mass of solution}}{\text {density of solution}}=\frac{100g}{1.83g/ml}=54.6ml$

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

$Molality=\frac{0.61\times 1000}{54.6ml}=11.2M$

To calculate the volume of acid, we use the equation given by neutralisation reaction:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

where,

$M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the molarity and volume of stock acid which is $H_2SO_4$

$M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the molarity and volume of dilute acid which is $H_2SO_4$

We are given:

$M_1=11.2M\\V_1=mL\\M_2=0.30M\\V_2=1550mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$11.2\times V_1=0.30\times 1550\\\\V_1=41.5mL$

Thus 41.5 mL of the solution would be required to prepare 1550 mL of a .30M solution of the acid

What mass of NaC6H5COO should be added to 1.5 L of 0.40 M C6H5COOH solution at 25 °C to produce a solution with a pH of 3.87 giv

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

41 g

Explanation:

We have a buffer formed by a weak acid (C₆H₅COOH) and its conjugate base (C₆H₅COO⁻ coming from NaC₆H₅COO). We can find the concentration of C₆H₅COO⁻ (and therefore of NaC₆H₅COO) using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation.

pH = pKa + log [C₆H₅COO⁻]/[C₆H₅COOH]

pH - pKa = log [C₆H₅COO⁻] - log [C₆H₅COOH]

log [C₆H₅COO⁻] = pH - pKa + log [C₆H₅COOH]

log [C₆H₅COO⁻] = 3.87 - (-log 6.5 × 10⁻⁵) + log 0.40

[C₆H₅COO⁻] = [NaC₆H₅COO] = 0.19 M

We can find the mass of NaC₆H₅COO using the following expression.

M = mass NaC₆H₅COO / molar mass NaC₆H₅COO × liters of solution

mass NaC₆H₅COO = M × molar mass NaC₆H₅COO × liters of solution

mass NaC₆H₅COO = 0.19 mol/L × 144.1032 g/mol × 1.5 L

mass NaC₆H₅COO = 41 g
